IMPROVEMENT IN BABY-WALKERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,452, dated May 7,1872.

Specication describing a new and Improved Baby-Walker, invented byGEORGE EUELL, ot' Guttenburg, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey.

Figure l represents a vertical central section of my improvedbaby-walker. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are detailside views ofthe locks; and Fig. 5 is a detail vertical section, showinga modification in the arrangement ot' supports.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new construction of baby-walker; andconsists in making the same of two jointed annular frames connected bybraces and supported on legs, and in the combination therewith oi' avertically-adjustable seat, which is set gradually higher to conform tothe growth of the child.

A in the drawing represents the upper, and B the lower ring of thebaby-walker. Both are connected by upright stays C C. Each of the ringsis made in two equal parts, that are hinged together at a, and lockedtogether at their opening ends by suitable spring-catches, as at b. Thelower ring B is supported on legs D D, which are rigidly connected withit,

as in Fig. 1, and which may also extend up to the upper ring, as in Fig.5. Caster-wheels E E are applied to the lower ends of the legs D D. Ahandle, F, cushioned at the ends, is applied to the upper ring, in themanner shown. A seat, G, is connected with the lower ring, and madevertically adjustable by means ot a screw, H, for the purposehereinbei'ore intimated.

The rings are swung open whenever the child is to be inclosed, and arethen locked together, confining the child, but allowing it full freedomof motion and action.

Instead of being circular, as shown, the rings may be of oval or otherconvenient form.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The two-part and hinged rings A B, stays C, casteredlegs D E, handle F, and seat G, all combined, constructed, and arrangedas described, to form an improved baby-walker.
